June Lake 2015
Our neighbors Paul & Brenda were gracious enough to invite us to their cabin at June Lake this past weekend. Silver Lake Sunday was church day in Lee Vining. While the others were at church, I shot some beat up old houses nearby. Then it was on to Mono Lake. A very unusual place. Highly …
